In another of its splendid focus exhibitions, the Museum of Modern Art, New York presents The Erotic Object: Surrealist Sculpture from the Collection. The show contains exactly that which its title implies: Surrealistic sculptures dating from the early 1930s to the 1940s drawn from MoMA's collection. As for the eroticism, it is either subtle or blatant, dependent on each viewer's reaction. (After all, Surrealism was meant to be the visual and literary manifestation of the individual subconscious, was it not?)
The Erotic Object: Surrealist Sculpture from the Collection is on view from June 24, 2009 through January 4, 2010 in the The Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Painting and Sculpture Galleries, fourth floor.
